Giving an example of high coverage cardiac perfusion
MRI, we demonstrate how reformulating MS-CAIPIRINHA as a
pure in-plane acceleration problem facilitates the
integration of MS-CAIPIRINHA into the clinical workflow.
By employing the multi-band excitation with phase
oversampling in the imaging protocol, the multi-band
acceleration problem reduces to a simple in-plane
acceleration problem. Consequently the standard inbuilt
parallel imaging functionality can be used for
accelerating the measurement and reconstructing the
images. This in turn renders mayor modifications to the
sequence and the reconstruction chain unnecessary and
provides the flexibility to attach available
post-processing functionality like motion correction and
up-slope map calculation.
